Awesome Agent Skills is a curated repository of over 1,100 agent skills from official development teams and the open-source community, organized for use with Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf, OpenCode, and more. Maintained by VoltAgent, the collection explicitly rejects AI-generated filler — everything is hand-picked. The library spans every corner of the modern developer stack: frontend frameworks (React, Next.js, Angular, React Native), cloud platforms (Cloudflare Workers, Netlify, Vercel, Google Cloud), databases (PostgreSQL, ClickHouse, MongoDB, Firebase), infrastructure (Terraform, HashiCorp), CMS (Sanity, WordPress), APIs (Stripe, Composio, Firecrawl), AI/ML (Replicate, Gemini, OpenAI), and design (Figma, Remotion). Skills from Stitch, Remotion, and dozens of official vendor teams are included. As agent-native development becomes the default workflow, having the right skills loaded into your agent is as important as having the right VS Code extensions was in 2020. This is becoming the npm registry of agent capabilities — 18k+ stars and still climbing.

oh-my-codex (OMX)
Like oh-my-zsh but for Codex — teams, memory, and TDD workflows

oh-my-codex (OMX) is an orchestration layer that wraps OpenAI's Codex CLI, adding everything Codex lacks out of the box: multi-agent team coordination, persistent memory, structured workflows, and async delegation. The analogy to oh-my-zsh is apt — it doesn't replace Codex, it supercharges it. The framework ships four canonical skills: $deep-interview for intent classification and clarification, $ralplan for structured implementation planning with trade-off review, $ralph for persistent completion loops that carry a plan to verified done, and TDD and code-review workflows. Since v0.13.1, every team worker runs in an isolated git worktree by default, preventing context bleed between parallel agents. A persistent-state MCP server carries memory across sessions. Built originally by Yeachan Heo and now also at github.com/scalarian/oh-my-codex, OMX has quietly accumulated nearly 3,000 GitHub stars. It's particularly powerful for developers already comfortable with Codex CLI who want to run parallel agents on large refactors or full-stack builds — the async delegation means no more hitting Codex timeout walls.
Reviewer scorecard
“This is the package registry equivalent for agent skills. Instead of hunting across 30 different repos, everything is here and organized. The fact that official vendor teams like Stripe and Cloudflare are contributing their own skills means quality stays high.”
“The git worktree isolation per worker agent is the feature that sold me — parallel agents without stomping each other's context is exactly the problem I kept hitting in vanilla Codex. The $ralph persistent completion loop is genuinely useful for large multi-file refactors.”
“1,100 skills sounds impressive but quantity isn't quality. Keeping skills current as APIs evolve is a massive maintenance burden — today's Stripe skill becomes tomorrow's broken context blob. Absent a strong contributor community, this risks becoming stale fast.”
“Orchestration layers on top of CLI tools tend to accumulate abstraction debt fast. OMX is already on v0.13.1 with breaking changes between minor versions. Unless you're a Codex power user, you'll spend more time debugging the orchestration layer than doing actual work.”
“The aggregation layer for agent tooling will be enormously valuable. Whoever owns the canonical skills registry wins developer distribution the way npm and pip did before — Awesome Agent Skills has first-mover positioning in a winner-take-most market.”
“We're in the oh-my-zsh moment for AI agent CLIs — community-built orchestration layers will fragment and recombine until a few patterns win. OMX is one of the more principled early experiments, and its worktree-isolation approach will likely influence how official tooling handles parallelism.”
“Having Figma and Remotion skills officially in here means designers can plug into agentic workflows without translating their tools into developer language. Exactly the kind of cross-discipline thinking that makes agent tooling accessible beyond pure coders.”
“This is deep CLI territory — not designed for non-developers at all. If you're a developer who lives in the terminal and wants to push Codex further, it's interesting. Otherwise, skip.”
